Please keep things on-topic as this forum will be used for reference for Pale Moon development. Expect topics that aren't relevant as such to be moved or deleted.

As a heads up to the people who are on the unstable channel with Pale Moon:

Please be warned that the unstable channel will be moved to Pale Moon v28.0 alpha builds very soon. This will mean a few important things for you:

Once the switch is made, your profile will be migrated to a v28 profile. This is a one-way conversion that cannot be undone by reverting to an older version of the browser.

Pale Moon v28.0 is still truly in alpha, so your stability and usability may take a hit.

Sync currently does not work yet in v28.

The current unstable channel builds are at-level with the current release version of Pale Moon (v27.9.2). If you prefer stability over the bleeding edge, then please stop what you are doing right now and switch over to the release version.

Improving Mozilla code: You know you're on the right track with code changes when you spend the majority of your time deleting code.

Because Mozilla 52 and Pale Moon 28 have differences in the way they use profiles from Pale Moon 27, and while PM 28 will be aware of the differences and be able to convert a profile, Pale Moon 27 is not and will not be aware of the differences and will not know how to revert changes to the profile structure and contents.

Does this mean that PM 28 will incorporate bits of code from FF 52 (or 52 & beyond)?

Yes. Pale Moon 28 is built on the Unified XUL Platform, a fork of Mozilla 52; for Pale Moon, milestone 28 is a rebase to code originally used in Firefox 52 (with a lot of junk removed, new features and bugfixes backported from later Mozilla versions, and other improvements made). The front-end application code (user interface, etc.) will stay mostly the same as Pale Moon 27, though. The most noticeable differences are improved rendering and JavaScript support (and of course, right now, all the yet-to-be-fixed bugs caused by the rebase).

status bar is working fine now, thanks just having a little inconvenience that sidebar(for example, history sidebar by pressing Ctrl+H) is not restoring to last state when restarting, and sidebar becomes empty when opening new window.
